Hi,

can someone please confirm you can still get a free static ip address and wether you can still setup port forwarding using the supplied power hub router?

thanks

Static IPs are still available on request, for free😁

All vodafone's current routers have port forwarding available, but how well they do it I can't say - I use an Asus router and access my network over VPN (the safe option).

thanks.

I read somewhere that Voda have blocked all port forwarding on their new routers

[Ripshod]

Certain ports can't be used because the router itself uses them, but apart from those everything else should be under our control.

Which port(s) do you want to open? 

[nicetry]

80, and 443 and several other custom ports for access to server and personal VPN, SSH etc.

[Ripshod]

There's no way I know of to move the router's http/https away from the default 80/443, but others may chime in with a solution. The other ports should work fine.

One solution may be to use your own router, or use custom ports for the webserver(?).

Thanks.

 I’ll ask a different question directly to anyone who has a new power hub router
